HOW MANY BEETLES ARE THERE?
The exact number is not known. Beetles come in different shapes and sizes and are among the most numerous and most colorful creatures on earth. They come in many different colors: gold, green, black, blue, red, silver and anything in between.
Researchers have identified close 400,000 species of insects that form the order Coleoptera, to which beetles belong, and continue to discover new ones. They play a vital role in maintaining recycling dung and plant matter, which is essential in maintaining the health of ecosystems.
